Mimics snail mucin for barrier repair and hydration with a lightweight gel texture
What the community says
Plant-based phytomucin gel famed for delivering a 'glass skin' dewiness while supporting the skin barrier and hydration, but its richer, sticky texture can clog pores and trigger rosacea or breakouts for sensitive or acne-prone users.
